Cockermouth, Historical market town in Cumbria, England.
Located at the meeting point of the River Cocker and River Derwent, Cockermouth features Georgian architecture along its medieval street layout.
The Norman castle, constructed in the 12th century near the river confluence, served as a stronghold for controlling trade routes across Cumberland.
The birthplace of William Wordsworth in 1770 maintains its original Georgian features and gardens, offering insights into the poet's early life.
Regular bus services connect the town to major Lake District destinations, while the A66 road provides direct access to the M6 motorway.
The town received the Europe Prize in 2000 for its partnership with Marvejols, France, recognizing exceptional international community relations.
